Bahviour+Modification

**Behaviour Modification **  This framework was developed by theorists such as Ivan Pavlov, B F Skinner and John Watson beginning early in the 20th Century.

Involving positive reinforcement and consequences as a result of good or bad behaviour, behaviour modification uses environmental stimuli, responses to BOTH good and bad behaviours and students learning the correct response to situation.

The key to enforcing a classroom management framework based on behaviour modification is to:  An important note to remember is negative reinforcement is NOT punishment.
 * Provide positive reinforcement for good behaviour
 * Such positive enforces could include a sticker for a sticker chart, verbal praise, edible treats, or even activity based (longer recess, art time, computer time) etc.
 * Provide negative reinforcement for bad behaviour
 * Such negative enforces could include the removal of a sticker from a a sticker chart, and activity based; 10 mins of computer time if all of a student's (who struggles to finish work) maths work is done in class etc.
